Isolation, Crystallization, and Properties of Pepsin Inhibitor

چکیده

A method has been described for the isolation and crystallization of swine pepsin inhibitor from swine pepsinogen. Solubility experiments and fractional recrystallization show no drift in specific activity. The reversible combination of pepsin with the inhibitor was found to obey the mass law. The inhibitor is quite specific, failing to act on other proteolytic and milk clotting enzymes. The inhibitor is destroyed by pepsin at pH 3.5. Chemical and physical studies indicate that the inhibitor is a polypeptide of approximately 5,000 molecular weight with an isoelectric point at pH 3.7. It contains arginine, tyrosine, but no tryptophane and has basic groups in its structure.

Purification and properties of a zymogen from human gastric mucosa.

A previous paper (2) described the isolation and crystallization of gastricsin from human gastric juice and the physical, chemical, and enzymatic properties of gastricsin as compared to human pepsin. It is the purpose of the present report to describe the purification and properties of a zymogen from human gastric mucosa. The activation of this zymogen produces both gastricsin and human pepsin.

Isolation and crystallization of gastricsin from human gastric juice.

The samples of human gastric juice were collected from patients of the University Hospital and the Veterans’ Administration Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The secretion of gastric juice was stimulated by injecting intravenously 10 units of insulin immediately before starting each collection. The gastric juice was collected in jars, cooled to 4”, and kept at this temperature. Samples from ...
